But I've planted some chives in the bed and will transplant some wild garlic bulbs that escaped from a neighbor's garden into my back yard in a holistic attempt to ward off aphids (who vexed me this year). I have some tulip bulbs that are doing very well there, and the iris I planted there last fall didn't die, even if they didn't bloom this first year. So I think the garlic should do pretty well there.
